Well, I'll admit, you're right. I didn't really need to say anything about it. But, I will also admit, at times gramar, phonics, etc., that are used in a computer setting is very bad. I regularly think of something that one of my friends, who has been a high school english teacher for 15 years, told me. She said that todays youths are actually using internet jargin, computer slang, etc., in their term papers and book reports and exams thinking that is the propper way to write and spell. Example "Hi, how r u doing." They will write stuff like that, and the students get upset when they fail the class and can't understand why. I mean, some youths are actually using internet slang in "real world" situations. So, it does bother me at times. And I do apologize if I offended you in any way. Here's a peace offering
So, let's get back to Scirocco talk! I need to find a place to host some pics to I can post on here. Well, not that you all would really want to see my ragged out '85, anyway...at least, not yet!
[Edit] due to my own lack of knowing how to spell at times...

Tim,
Thanks for the compliment. This is actually an alternate paint formula for Tornado Red. I think it has a little more yellow in it than normal, which makes it look more like Mars. My painter showed me a sample of this color up close before he sprayed the car. I was all for it, and was even more pleased with the final results. It's kind of midway between Tornado and Mars. I probably like it because ten years ago I had a Mars Red '85 GTI that I have regretted selling to this day!
I'm glad you like the 8V look too. This was a bone stock 16V setup originally. I was planning to go with the matte black 16V body kit and bumpers like the euro 16V, but once I took the kit off, I really liked the look. My painter/bodyman took it all in stride, and welded up all the leftover holes from taking off the kit. He also did a really good metal fab job filling the open space left over from the old US rear bumper.
I just hope I don't hit anything in the front....he also shaved the seams between the lower valance and the fenders, they're one-piece now.
